Lois & The Love play a crossbreed of synth-pop and grunge with pop hooks at The Horn on Victoria Street.
Lois & The Love play The Horn on Tuesday 1 December, with the set running from 8:00 pm to 11:00 pm. It's a single-act bill, so the whole night is theirs.
If you're not familiar with them, they're a hard band to pin down. They describe their sound as a "singular crossbreed of synth-shot grunge and razor-sharp pop", and that's a fair summary of what you'll hear. The grunge side brings the grit and the distorted edges, while the synth-pop pulls it back into something melodic and structured. It's a combination that puts them somewhere between a noisy basement gig and a polished pop record, and they lean into both at once.
They build that sound around what they call "stylish, gutter-bubblegum hooks" — the kind of melodies that stick in your head long after the noise has died down. It's that contrast that does the heavy lifting: the grit of the grunge playing against the brightness of the pop. If you're into music that doesn't quite fit into one box, this is exactly the kind of thing that works better live than on a recording, where you can feel the weight of the grunge and the snap of the pop side by side.
